The European Union is cementing its position as the global centre of digital and tech policy, shaping the regulatory environment for business across the world. But why has the EU embraced this role and what does this mean for companies navigating the landscape?

Simone Casadei Pastorino, Director at Taso Advisory, spoke to Jillian Mertsch, Senior Director of Government Affairs at Qualcomm, and Kai Zenner, Head of Office and Digital Policy Adviser for MEP Axel Voss, to find out.

They talked about where the EU draws its mandate for tech policy from (2:00), where it sits within the geopolitical landscape in the world of digital regulation (08:28), the areas of tech policy that the EU is keen to shape in the year ahead (18:47) and how next year’s election could shape tech regulation across the continent (24:57).
